This is an interoffice memorandum from the Long Leu, Senior Section Manager of the IS Department, regarding Scope of Work verification for Requisition R000612, dated September 22, 2025. The memorandum pertains to the Orange County Transportation Authority's (Authority) procurement for Palo Alto Firewall and Panorama Annual Maintenance Renewal. The Authority is seeking bids from authorized resellers to provide annual maintenance renewal for existing Palo Alto Firewall and Panorama products. The contract term is one year, effective January 14, 2026 through January 13, 2027. No specific response dates, site visits, or bidder's meetings are mentioned in the memorandum.

The budget allocated for this procurement is $153,379 for the one-year term. The memorandum indicates that this purchase represents an annual maintenance renewal for products already in use and specifies that the vendor must provide this particular brand. The key issue raised in the memorandum is that no selection was made on the Scope of Work Verification form because the scope of work does not fit within the two options provided on that form, as this is a maintenance renewal for an existing product rather than a new procurement or system upgrade.
